English text
O! How doth God our souls surprise,
When He our conscience doth baptize
Into the holy nature;
Where, free from all offense and blame,
We now possess in Christ the Lamb,
The fullness of his stature.
Now free
Are we
And shall ever
In our Savior
Stand perfected;
With him to this grace elected.
